Trivia:

Welch voted down several breast jokes that the male writers submitted, including a Franken & Davis movie trailer for The Planet of the Enormous Hooters. Costume designer Franne Lee actually made size fifty-something tops for Jane, Laraine, and Gilda, all of which were put on hold for the Dolly Parton show, thirteen years later.
